[bstceltics4]

i been trying to fix it for like a week or 2 now and im at the point were i dont feel like bothering with it any more, i use windows vista, ive patches completely, i used the custom patches, ive used UOgateway and razor, ive tried UO gold and mondains legacy, ive even tried to use a version from other forums, for some reason while using windows vista i can not see alot of objects in the game, they either dont show up or they show up as a black box that says unused. please if any one knows how to fix this problem with vista can you let me know, im ready to throw this computer out the window

It is a patching issue or  You did set the paths for the Sylv patches correct?

I dont have vista and i have the same problems  to be honest  i just ignore it i mean why do i want to see blitzen ?

[creampuff]

um i have Vista and can see the objects fine after patching. Did you patch too far or something?

I don't know if you ever tried this but... sometimes it works better if you manually patch the Sylvan patches into UOGateway. Sometimes the one-click gateway link doesn't cut it... or even puting in the addresses manually might not do it...

I'd suggest downloading each of the Sylvan patch files to your computer and manually adding them into UOGateway one at a time using the "add file" button.

Here are the links to the patch files:

If you can get into the game but can't see custom objects then getting the sylvan patches from UOGateway or ConnectUO hasn't worked properly. Since you're on Vista, this is probably because you haven't given UOGateway or ConnectUO the Administrative rights they need to to apply the Sylvan patches.

Right click on your UOGateway or ConnectUO icon and select 'properties'. Click the Compatibility tab on the new window that appears. Near the bottom you'll see a check box that allows you to run the program as Administrator. Check that box. Click OK. Then try again.
